SCR 18-002

This bill, SCR 18-002, proposes that individuals who are in the country illegally and have committed serious crimes or DUI offenses should not be eligible for bail. If passed, it would mean these individuals could be held without the option to post bail until their trial. The bill is currently signed into law, meaning that people fitting this description will no longer be able to request bail under Colorado law.
